Value Iteration

Value Iteration is an algorithm used in reinforcement learning to compute the optimal policy and value function by iteratively updating the value estimates of states based on the Bellman optimality equation.

Overview

Value Iteration is a powerful algorithm in Reinforcement Learning that helps in determining the optimal policy for an agent. By iteratively applying the Bellman Equation, it updates the value of each state until the values stabilize, leading to the best possible actions in a given environment. This ...

Key Terms

Agent
The learner or decision maker in a Reinforcement Learning environment.

Example: A robot navigating a maze.

Environment
The external system with which the agent interacts.

Example: The maze in which the robot operates.

Reward
A feedback signal received by the agent after taking an action.

Example: Gaining points for reaching a goal.

Policy
A strategy that the agent employs to determine actions based on states.

Example: Choosing to move left or right in a maze.

State
A specific situation in which the agent finds itself.

Example: The current position of the robot in the maze.

Discount Factor
A value between 0 and 1 that determines the importance of future rewards.

Example: A discount factor of 0.9 means future rewards are valued at 90%.
